Well, I'm not expecting it to look like the latest & greatest Hollywood blockbuster, but it was shot on 35mm film, and as it starred Burt Reynolds & Jon Voight at the height of their careers I rather doubt it was shot with a "minimal crew". It was a long time ago but I do remember the mountain scenery looked stunning in the theater. The blu-ray is just flat, with very poor detail, and suffers from black crush in any darkly lit scenes.
